Bolognese over Zoodles

Bolognese Over Zoodles Many people think that if you eat clean or gluten free, pasta is out of the question.  This is not true. With everything in life, you just have to make better choices.  There are many clean brands of gluten free pastas out there, that even the pickiest kid would eat. Ahem.....

Sweet and Sour Pickle Radish

Sweet and Sour Pickle Radish Recently, I found some radishes called Watermelon Radish.  It's really a testament to the saying "beauty is skin deep". From the first glance it looks like any other radish but when you cut in it...the inside is a glorious magenta rimmed with the color green. My philosophy is whenever you have … Continue reading Sweet and Sour Pickle Radish

Chicken Pizzaiola

Chicken Pizzaiola Whenever you have even 1 kid with food allergies, you learn pretty quickly which local eatery has something your kid can eat.  Whenever my oldest wanted pizza, there is one pizzeria we go to that has a gluten-free/cheese-less pizza.  But recently, allergy kiddo decides she wants something completely different! So, we scour through the menu … Continue reading Chicken Pizzaiola

Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers I still remember this memory; it was before I became a parent.  My husband and I took a road trip to Philly and we did a cheesesteak crawl.  Yes, a decade ago my body could process the food and we didn't have our allergy child yet.  Over the years, I haven't thought … Continue reading Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Citrus Cole Slaw

Citrus Cole Slaw Like most recipes for me, it always starts with what I have in the house.  Last week, the supermarket was selling those bags of shredded cabbage (aka coleslaw mix) for 99cents. To me, that’s a great price because I can get 2 servings out of it and that comes out to be … Continue reading Citrus Cole Slaw

Rainbow Salad

Rainbow Salad There are so many versions of the rainbow salad at the delis around me.  Some of them have fruit, nuts, cabbage or bacon bits. I prefer using broccoli slaw because it holds up better overnight and actually lasts in the fridge for 3 days. I also tend to use raisins because the dried … Continue reading Rainbow Salad

Morrocan Wild Rice Salad
